Donald Trump appeared to crash Spain’s World Cup photo, and they seem to have edited him out of the final celebration image.
If you didn’t see, the World Cup Final took place on Sunday (July 19) in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Spain won the match 1-0 against Argentina. After a scoreless 90 minutes the match went to extra time, where Argentina was forced to play with 10 men following Enzo Fernández‘s red card. Spain finally found the breakthrough in the 106th minute when Nico Williams shot the ball to Ferran Torres, who scored the match’s lone goal to secure Spain’s second World Cup title and first since 2010.
The team posed for several victory pictures, but US President Donald Trump did not leave the stage when FIFA President Gianni Infantino appeared to try and get him to move.
If you look at the photo posted by the Spain National Football Team account, Trump cannot be seen, leaving some to believe they edited him out.
In addition, a White House Pool report, per The Guardian, claimed that the crown noise was at 78 decibels ahead of when Trump and Infantino arrived on the soccer field for the medal presentation portion of the event, after Spain’s win. Apparently, it rose to 84 decibels when they walked on the field.

He is to participate in the trophy ceremony.
